BBQ Pulled Pork with Esquites Corn Salad

by Chris Ratel

View Profile

Chef Chris doesn’t mess around with pulled pork. His version starts with pork shoulder slow-cooked in apple juice and spices for over eight hours, then hand-pulled and folded into a smoky, house-made chipotle BBQ sauce. On the side: a grilled corn salad inspired by the esquites he grew up eating in Sunset Park, Brooklyn—charred corn tossed with mayo, lime, jalapeño, cilantro, and Cotija cheese. Heat it all up, or keep the salad cold for contrast.
